Bob Steacy, a salesperson at Sutton Group – Masters Realty in Kingston, Ont. held his second annual Hit and Giggle Golf Tournament recently, raising $5,000 for the Partners in Mission Food Bank of Kingston. It brings the two-year fundraising total to $8,000.

“We are all in a country that is struggling economically and the hardest hit are the charities that don’t receive any provincial or federal funding,” says Steacy. “It was a wake-up call for me that even in Canada children still go off to school hungry – that needs to be corrected. I started this golf tournament last year to benefit the local food bank. As a fourth-generation Kingstonian and having many contacts, I thought the time was right to step up and organize this event. My office suspended their golf tournament, which I chaired for two years and which raised thousands of dollars for Juvenile Diabetes.”

One participant was Jim Dorey, a retired hockey defenseman who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers. Now living in his hometown of Kingston, Dorey recently established Dorey & Tolgyesi Insurance Brokers.
